Can't Install Windows 2000

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup (More info?)

When I boot from the floppy disks to load Win 2000 I
receive an error "file/biosinfo.inf could not be loaded.
The error code is 1024".

The file that it is looking for is on the floppy. I have
tried creating a new set of floppys but I still have the
same problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Have you tried booting the disks on a different pc or fdd?
Have you tried creating the floppies from a different fdd?
good luck

Do you have another bootable CD you can try to see if the problem is with
this CD itself?
Is this a retail copy of W2k, (or a bundled OEM one that has the full copy)-
or is it a "recovery CD" from the hardware mfr?
